Eating canteloupe

I bought a canteloupe at the farmers market for $1.00 yesterday. Last night I took the time to clean it (saving my seeds for growing later) and cube it up and put it in a lock and lock and refridgerated it. I had a bowl of canteloupe for lunch today with just a sprinkle of Kosher salt on it. how do you like your canteloupe? My grandmother ate hers with salt and pepper. I just put a sprinkle of salt on mne preferably kosher salt. I will be drying my seeds out today to use later in the garden.

I normally sprinkle salt on mine too. I do not use any special salt though. I just use the regular table salt on mine. It really is good with a little bit of salt on it. I thought it was weird the first time someone suggested it to me.

You sound like us. My husband was at work and they had a watermelon. It was the white one. He got the seeds from it, but he does not eat watermelon. Our children on the other hand love them. He has also removed seeds from apples to try to plant. This past spring we bought potatoes and did not use them all before they got eyes. So he planted them. They produced alot of potatoes. More than I thought it would. I told him it has saved us money in the long run. Have a Great Day! Happy MyLotting!

Hey sweet. Canteloupe is my most favorite summer fruit! I
have never heard of putting salt on it. I would never do
that because I don't use salt on anything because I have
very high blood pressure. It is so sweet any yummy, why
do you use salt? After I eat it I am so happy with the
taste it leaves in my mouth. I had bought 3 jumbos for
$5 which in NY is a great price. They were huge! I still
could eat a whole one myself. I also cute them up and
put them in a container, but I just can't stop eating them
once I start. I'm on my last one and I'm afraid the stores
won't be having them much longer since it is now September.
They might have them once more, but I don't know. They
really are my favorite fruit so I guess I will have to wait
for next season! It's funny because when I go to Florida
to visit my mom the produce is not at all nice. She says
they don't get good stuff in the stores. She says they
ship them to other states instead. I never quite understood
that, but I did see that the fruit in the Publix where
she shops really wasn't that great. She lives in
Ft. Lauderdale.

Salt enhances the sweetness and juiciness of the fruit. I don't use it all the time but occasionally is makes is even yummier. Well the publix up here in Jacksonville is a little better but I would still get mine from the farmers market or grow them myself. I am the only one in my household who will eat it though so it is mine all mine.

I love fresh cantalope too. I have tried to grow my own. But I do purchase it at the grocery store. I prefer to eat it cold than at room temperate. I just cut it up and enjoy. I do not put anything on it. I love when it is nice and ripe, tender and juicy. Summer fruits are simply the best.

I love cantaloupe, as long as it is fresh and juicy. I like mine cut up into squarish chunks, or sometimes cut like you would eat watermelon with it still on the skin. I eat it plain, no salt or anything, and it is great that way! I'm so glad it is still cantaloupe season! Part of the reason why I love summer so much!
